When will I have a long tassel?

"This matter is a long story." Tang Zifeng sighed and said:

"Recently, the United States launched the Cox Report in 1999, proposing to impose export restrictions on high-end machine tools from China. The military industry was very nervous at that time, and the Science and Technology Commission also approached local companies like us and asked us to develop high-end machine tools for the military industry. Machine tools, just in case something unexpected happens. At that time, our relationship with the military industry department was still very good. The two parties had close contacts and the cooperation was quite pleasant.

"But not long after, the Twin Towers of the United States were hit. The United States launched a war on terrorism, and the embargo against China was shelved. The military industry felt that since they could buy machine tools from the West, there was no need to rely on us. , so the relationship between the two parties became increasingly cold.”

Xu Zhaojian smiled and said: "You are saying this from your side. The military industry side says that your research and development progress is too slow, you lack service awareness, and you always give up and give face. People spend money and can't buy it." If I don’t say good things, but I still have to be angry with you, how can I have no problem with it?”

"But the money they gave me wasn't much." Tang Zifeng muttered.

"Providing equipment to the military industry sector has always been the obligation of our machinery industry. Not to mention that they have also given R\u0026D funds, even if they don't give you a penny, you will quit?" Xu Zhaojian asked.

Tang Zifeng said: "At the very least, the enthusiasm is not so high, right? When foreign countries sanctioned us, the country said that it is our obligation to develop high-end machine tools. But when foreign sanctions were relaxed, these military industry departments rushed to purchase foreign machine tools, putting us in trouble The hard work has been thrown aside. Who can have no problem with this kind of thing?"

To the ears of others hearing this conversation between an old man and a young man, they might think that they were choking each other. In fact, this is exactly the way of discussion that the two people are familiar with. What Xu Zhaojian admires most about Tang Zifeng is that he dares to speak up and can speak out when he has different opinions. He is not like some people who are submissive in front of leaders. They can clearly explain things clearly in one sentence, but they have to make big detours for fear of saying so. Being too straightforward will make the leader unhappy.

The roundabout approach seems to emphasize the importance of seniority and respect for the leader, but in fact it shows a lack of confidence in the leader's mind. A truly wise leader cannot tell which words are good and which are bad. If you act with your heart, how can your leader be unhappy because you are not artistic enough?

Well, what I’m talking about here is leaders like Xu Zhaojian and Zhou Heng. In reality, leaders who don’t listen to unfavorable advice are the mainstream. If you talk to the leader directly, the consequences will be terrible.

Tang Zifeng is not a reckless person. He always speaks based on what others say. He naturally knew how to be tactful where it was necessary, but in front of Xu Zhaojian, he didn't need to do this. He understood that the more outspoken he appeared, the more he would like the old man.

This is called emotional intelligence. Xiao Tang has not studied anything else in four years of university, and this course is definitely a perfect score.

Zhou Heng intervened and said: "What Xiao Tang said is also true. In the military industry, domestic equipment manufacturing companies have always been used as backup. When imported machine tools can be purchased, imported machine tools will be used as much as possible. Imported machine tools cannot be purchased. After getting a machine tool, I thought of using a domestic machine tool.

"The result of this is that domestic machine tool companies lack enthusiasm. Sometimes they go to great lengths to develop a machine tool, but the military industry says that it will not be used if it cannot reach the performance of similar foreign machine tools. This kind of thing , I’ve heard it many times in the second game.”

"They also have their difficulties." Xu Zhaojian said, "The troops have very high requirements for equipment. If military industrial enterprises want to improve the performance and quality of equipment, of course they must use the best machine tools possible. If they cannot buy imported ones, they have to use domestically produced ones. , they have nothing to do. If they can obviously buy better machine tools from abroad, their psychology must be biased towards foreign countries, and the reasons are very legitimate."

Zhou Heng said: "This is a typical case of paying attention to food but not fighting. If the United States issues another Cox report, what will these military industry companies do?"

Xu Zhaojian said: "Comrades from the Science and Technology Commission are actually aware of this problem and have also communicated with the following companies. The concerns of the following companies are whether domestic machine tool companies can be reliable. They are worried that they have too much hope in domestic machine tool companies. In the end, everything came to nothing.”

"Actually, it's not a big problem." Zhou Heng said, "In recent years, our machine tool companies have made rapid technological progress. Materials, processes, equipment, and design capabilities are all different from the past. If the country can increase investment , with continuous investment, our machine tool companies can fully realize the task of import substitution."

"The premise is that the country needs to continue to invest." Tang Zifeng continued what Zhou Heng said, "This investment is not only a financial investment, but also includes attention from the national policy level. To put it bluntly, a company like our Linji Group Enterprises are really not short of tens of millions of special funds now. What we need is that the results we achieve can be recognized by the country and have some weight in the country's psychological balance."

Xu Zhaojian nodded and said: "I understand what you mean. We used to mention machine tools as the foundation of the country, and we must do the same now and in the future. Last time you attacked the Jinsheng Group, some comrades also questioned and said that this method was used to solve the problem. The question of market competition is whether it has gone too far. I said at the time that there are some areas that cannot be relaxed, and in these areas, no matter how cautious you are, you cannot be too cautious."

"Xu Lao Shengming!" Tang Zifeng quickly flattered him.

Xu Zhaojian glanced at him, but did not care, but continued: "I think the military and civilians should sit down and have a good talk about this matter to discuss a suitable mechanism. By the way, it must be a long-term mechanism. , it will remain unchanged for fifty years and cannot be changed overnight."

"The long-term mechanism is a good idea!" Zhou Heng praised, "The research and development of machine tools cannot be accomplished overnight. If we engage in that kind of war-like research and development, vigorously carry out it for a year or two, and then die down, even if we can produce a few products at that time, Each model will lack stamina. Without continuous research and development, the distance between us and foreign countries will become farther and farther, and one day we will not even be able to understand what others are doing."

"About this, you need to strengthen publicity, especially to let our leading cadres understand." Xu Zhaojian pointed at Tang Zifeng and ordered.

Tang Zifeng smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, shouldn't the propaganda department be responsible for this publicity matter? Why did you blame me?"

"How many people in the propaganda department know machine tools?" Xu Zhaojian said with a dissatisfied tone, "As for the issue of the heptagonal nut that was discussed by your 'Identification Network' some time ago, I heard feedback that the party school Many professors don’t understand. There are also professors who introduced the article “Contest in Winter Training Camp” to students in class, and it is said that students all think that the seven-pointed nut is right.”

"This problem is too big." Zhou Heng said, "Many of our current government officials are majored in economics, law, history, and Chinese, and have no knowledge of industrial knowledge. When it comes to building airplanes, cars, etc., They are very clear-minded, but when it comes to the specific performance of a brake pad on an airplane or a bearing on a car, they are completely blind. If this situation is not changed, our industrial development will go astray."

Tang Zifeng looked depressed: "Director Zhou is talking about me. I majored in economics. However, when I was in college, the school still emphasized the integration of production practice. Although we are economics majors, They also held industrial technology courses and allowed us to do metalworking internships in factories.

"In recent years, schools have become more and more academic, and all liberal arts majors in all schools have canceled production practice courses. Those who study industrial economics cannot distinguish between lathes and milling machines, and those who study agricultural economics do not know about paddy fields and dry fields. This is normal. "

"If you can't tell the difference between a lathe and a milling machine, and you don't know about paddy and dry fields, how can you direct production?" Xu Zhaojian said, "The issue Xiao Tang mentioned is very important. We must start from the foundation of talent training. Primary and secondary schools should set up labor classes. Get in touch with production practice. Universities should offer production practice courses. Even those studying economics or journalism should understand how electricity is generated and how screws are processed. At the very least, they will not create things like heptagonal nuts. Such a joke."

"Existing leading cadres must also make up for this lesson." Zhou Heng agreed, "I think it is possible to formulate a policy that government officials at all levels should take time to visit factories and rural areas. This kind of observation is not a casual inspection like in the past, but it is about going down to the workshops and fields to actually understand what the industrial and agricultural production process is like, and by the way, it can also enhance confidence in Made in China."

"Our Linji Group can provide this kind of business." Tang Zifeng raised his hand and said, "We can develop an industrial tourism project and contact leaders at all levels to conduct one-day industrial tours. If one day is not enough, it can become three or five days. Okay. Let these leaders go to the workshop in person and make hammers or something with their own hands. Basically, you can know what the industry is like."

Xu Zhaojian smiled and said: "Why do I feel that this matter is getting bigger and bigger? Didn't we talk about localization in the first place? Now that there is such a commotion, the Education Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Organization Department, the Personnel Department, and the National Development and Reform Commission have to take action. .

"However, I think this is also necessary. Isn't there a saying now that China is the world's factory, and the output of many industrial products is already the first in the world. In an industrial country as big as ours, leaders at all levels lack industrial knowledge , is completely unreasonable. To strengthen the industrial knowledge education for leading cadres, a long-term mechanism should also be established to prevent any more incidents involving lay leaders and expert leaders.

"Regarding this matter, Xiao Zhou, Xiao Tang, please work hard and formulate a written report, and I will hand it over to you."
